As in any academic department, graduate students are integral to the
running of the School.

Graduate student representatives serve on the following SKHS subcommittees:

Academic Council (1 master's and 1 doctoral student) (which sets general policy for the School's
graduate and undergraduate programs)

Graduate Subcommittee (1 master's and 1 doctoral student)

Faculty hiring committees (1 graduate student in the discipline area)

Other ad hoc
committees as appropriate.

In addition, graduate students
select an SKHS representative to the Society for Graduate and
Professional Students (SGPS) which is the
main body responsible for graduate student affairs at Queen's. This body
appoints graduate student members to larger University committees. It
also provides services, advice and advocacy for graduate students.

Graduate students select their various subcommittee
representatives through an election process during an SKHS Graduate
Student Council meeting early each September. The list of these
representatives is given to the SKHS
Administrative Assistant to be recorded on the SKHS Committee
Representatives list for that academic session.
